Steven Smith married in 2018 as did Root. I don't believe that this was before/after their peak years. Moreover, SRT was excellent in tests from '91-92 and good in ODIs from '94 onward.

His jazba is commendable,jazba to launch into anything (opinion on everything)

Sure cricket is boring without these personalities

Shoaib spouting off as usual. ultimately, it depends on the person(s) involved, not the timing of marriage itself

Like anything Mr genital warts child-bride says about personal conduct, marriage etc is worth discussing.

a pity that the thread acquired momentum after starting, but once it starts, you can't put the genie back in the bottle... likewise, you can't put a lid on shoaib.

Akhtar is an idiot. 

[R!TTER]

What an absolute spud, pea brain everything is won by "daleri, jazba, junoon" arsehole should keep his trap shut- he has no business commenting on anything serious, or personal lives of other cricketers!

Someone give this guy a proper pheinta

Its not just kohli..

 

Indian players are usually impacted negatively after marriage. Its a sort of taboo subject as I dont want to blame their wives. But attention is diverted.

 

I mean forget cricketers. I myself am less driven in terms of work ethic post marriage. 

[First class]

Please ignore this low class person Shoaib. Please do not create anther thread every time he opens his dirty mouth, he does not deserve that attention which he is always seeking at every forum/level. 

[ThirtyD.]

I don’t know about marriage having an impact on him or not but he has been heavily influenced by His better half. They have gone overboard with all the attention seeking in showing how righteously they live their lives.
 

Recent example would be Anushka carrying her daughter in the stands and then naively acting that she wasn’t aware of how the cameras were on the child. This obviously was not the first game Anushka has attended for her to understand that cameraman look for cricketer’s family in the stands. They have gone beyond annoying as a couple and I feel that has distracted VK a bit.

Congrats on your marriage ... @G_B_

 

Family responsibilities & societal pressures in India are different than other parts of the world

Sane here. Physically I am as strong as ever but mentally I am very much fatigued post marriage.

[mishra]

Look at Kalam, Modi, Atalji, Yogiji. The success rate among people without family responsibilities is very high.

 

In modern day, we can not expect life partner to behave the way it was till Sachin/Shoiabs era. Rightly so. Expectation management in family life is not easy thing. Just like everyone, Kohli struggles a bit on that front. 

 

But i think Shoiab just wanted to say that Kohli wasn’t ready for marriage as it appears that marriage has some impact on his career. Wrong. IMO, Kohli’s selfishness to keep a daylight between his popularity and next Indian cricketers popularity is root cause of Team Indias failures. He cunningly destroyed/ignored every talent.

I would advise guys to marry women who have similar interests. If you are into sports, make sure she is atleast interested in staying fit or being athletic. If she has interest in sport then like yourself then it's perfectly compatible. 

 

With my ex's I had the issue of getting them involved in sporting activities, especially Indian women who are generally lazy. White women dig sporty guys so that usually worked well for me in terms of relationships. 

With Indian women, there is another serious issue with food. Accommodating vegetarians and restraining yourself from eating meat when your gf is around requires you to compromise. 

[Mariyam]

WOW.

 

Not surprised that most guys here wont hesitate to call Akhtar a joker, and rightly so, and continue to spout the same absurdities that he has.

Of course, the woman is responsible for all things wrong with the man and his work post marriage!

 

Why is this joke of a thread even in Cricket Talk? Shouldn't it be in the cesspool that Chit Chat has now degenerated into?

Congratulations!

Wish the two of you a happy wedded life.

 

Also, is the institution of marriage responsible for your dissipating work ethic?

Not my original thoughts but the below makes sense:

 

[Pyar ka panchnama]You've heard how behind every successful man there is a woman. But what is not told is behind every unsuccessful man there is also a woman. And you know, number of unsuccessful men triumphs the number of successful men.[/pyar ka punchnama]
